Read it in one day and I'd read it again right now. I'd add it to every "Must Read" list out there.

um HELLO? One of the best books of all time??? Good Talk is a memoir told as a graphic novel about Mira Jacob’s experience growing up as a first generation Indian woman in America. I laughed so much and then suddenly I was crying … simply stunning and everyone should read it immediately

I only docked a quarter of a star because I didn’t really like the style the people were drawn in (although I did like the compositions with the photo backgrounds), and the order of the chapters was not chronological, making it a little confusing. Otherwise, Z is such a gem, and I’m glad Jacob was able to capture exactly the incessant questioning and curiosity of a child.

Didn't know this was a graphic novel, but I listened to it on audio and loved the full cast. Thoroughly enjoyed the author discussing her experience with racism(including colorism), xenophobia, and prejudice as a south Asian American.
